Zaughi Smith's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Zaughi

IC Character Name: Zaughi Smith

1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority and what lead your character to do so.
He wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority to keep the citizens in City 45 safe, or he atleast wants them the illusion that they are safe. What led him to this descision is the rebellion attack on District 1. He saw what kind of beasts they were, for they cared not for whom they killed, citizen, Civil Protection or Combine. He saw them as a threat to the entire city.

He understands questions like the fact that if the rebels get in, then they may destroy the Thumpers, thus letting the burrowing Headcrabs and Antlions into City 45. And without a Nexus and a City Administrator, who would make sure that the city wasn't overrun by crime and scum?

So inevitably he applied the Civil Protection in the hopes of adding one more percent to keeping the revolutionists out of civilized society. The choice in his eyes is clear. The Combine are the future.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Pure to the core, has never touched contraband and reported ANY crime he has witnessed, Assists in finding rebels and anti-citizens in whatever dark holes and corners they hide. If ordered by a Combine or Civil Protection unit, he will carry out that order immediately, even at the cost of his life. He finds himself indifferent among the Combine.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
Joining the CCA will be a drastic change in responsibility for my character. He will be taking the weight of the safety of every citizen in the City onto his shoulders. He will have to cut his ties to anything that he could have done on Old Earth as a human being. This would be like changing his entire race, and betraying his own. He would give up his freedom, or what's left of it.

I believe my character will be able to handle it. He did when he rebels attacked. He kept calm and made sure they were disposed of. Combine Civil Authority also has it's benefits in the eyes of my character, but what he does not know is that his entire mind would be reprogrammed in the eyes of the Combine. He understands that he will recieve better living conditions than Citizens and Union Civil Workers, and that he will be treated with respect among the Combine. Although, in his mind the Combine is best choice for him.

4) Please provide a detailed back-story from an out-of-character perspective on your applying character. This section must be detailed and consist of a minimum of 300 words.
Zaughi Smith had woken up in the train station on a bench in City45. He could remember one thing and that was that he had been relocated. Again. The portal event was bad enough, he wondered why he had to move to a different city so frequently.  He noticed a discarded can lying on the floor, so he picked it up and tossed it into a nearby trash can. Unknown to him, an APEX unit had observed this, and had thought "Finally, a citizen who DOES something for the City". Zaughi continued through the train station and when asked to apply, did so right away. He opened the doors, which opened to the, what he saw beautiful Combine architecture of City45. He had always wondered what the barricades were made from. As he walked into the square of District 1, he saw a citizen shoved up against a wall by a Civil Protection officer. The citizen resisted judgement and attacked the officer. Zaughi ran towards the man and held him back and allowed the officer to tie him. The officer nodded towards Zaughi and began to drag the man into the Nexus. He felt quite happy with himself for assisting the Combine in stopping a crime. He gained Loyalist status through cleaning up District 1. He also earned three points by cleaning the entire District 2 Hardpoint. He was given a Loyalist Armband by a High Command officer for this. Now glad, he moved into District 6 after applying with an officer first. On his way through, he heard loud noises and clanking coming from inside the bar. He listened closer, and heard a man with a booming voice speak about a rebellion. Zaughi knocked on the door and entered, deciding to learn of their plans before reporting it. He learned that the rebels were armed with knives and 9mm pistols, and were going to attack using brute force instead of stealth against to Combine forces in City 45 and attempt to take over District 1 in one hour. Zaughi left and reported it to an officer. Not only thirty minutes later, he passed a blockade of Civil Protection officers and a Combine Overwatch Soldier protecting the Hardpoint. As the rebels began to pour out, he watched as they engaged eachother in the streets. The Combine had driven in an Armored Personnel Carrier full of Combine Overwatch Soldiers, which ended the combat with the rebels. This is when he saw the righteousness of the Combine. Then he decided that he would sign up.

5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Re: Mass-rebel failure over a 4-day span.
« on: March 14, 2012, 05:54:23 PM »
Move on? This was meant to be a funny story which proves the point that rebellions should never be attempted without arms. Not a death appeal. And it was no coincidence. The guy we tackled radioed it in. They respected a 1v1 for a bit then opened fire.

And the Pac-Man easter egg in Endon's House?

General Discussion / Skyrim Headless Horseman and other Easter Eggs.
« on: March 14, 2012, 04:00:40 PM »
Has anyone found him yet? I hear he stops around Hamvir's Rest. I've been chasing him ever since I left the starting zone, never to find him. If you know his travel pattern (quite the enigma) Or ^^^^^^^^^^ where he travels most other than the area above, tell me. Really elusive, quite the opposite of the Giant Mudcrab that's
Spoiler for Hiden:
is in the sea at the shores around Dawnstar to Winterhold, yes I'm talking the one that's as big as Dragonsreach. He just comes right out of the water and kills you. If you have any other Easter Eggs to share, not including the Alice in Wonderland reference during the Mind in The Madness (Sheogorath) quest with the little tea party and like in Oblivion, Wabbajack. (Think Jabberjunkie or whatever the big dragon thing was called).

Introductions / Late Introduction, if it sucks, tell me.
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:52:32 PM »
Heh, this is an overdue introduction, should have done it before. I joined Catalyst Gaming solely on recommendation by GRID, a Steam friend of mine. I have a good over 4 months of roleplaying experience, and I seriously hated the rule breaking situation in DeathmatchRP, so I moved on to real, serious roleplaying. I heard Catalyst also supported Spacebuild, so hey? How bad can it be? I joined HL2RP first and instantly cut off any ties I had to DarkRP, I mean DeathmatchRP. My Steam name is Zaughi. Game genres I enjoy? RPGs, shooters, MMOs, even games like Blockland. (Planetside 2 and Everquest 3 coming out this year, suck it XBOX 360 fans! PS3 and PC FTW), WHOOOO!!! Now, it's probably against the forum rules to say "OE MAH GAWD AHD MEH OEN STEEM" in my introduction. So seriously, I'm not even gonna try. Thank you for reading. Oh yeah, one more thing. I own at shooters.

Bug Reports / Electric Wires Purple and Black Checkered.
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:43:45 PM »
I have CS:S, but I still can't see the electric wires that come out from the Thumpers. Do I need HL2, EP1/EP2 to see them? Or is there a texture pack on Garrysmod.org? Not even sure if this goes in the bug report section, but thanks for answering if you do.  :D

Mapping / Re: NRK's City 45 Remake - Day or Night?
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:38:49 PM »
I think you should do night, but I have W7, so make it semi-dark so when it gets dark, you need nightvision because your flashlight can only see 5 feet ahead of you. Kinda like rp_OuterCanals night. Had a real Chernobyl feel, love to do that with City 45. I'd even play that map single player, spawn NPCs, and please node it! OuterCanals had EXCELLENT noding, so I could spawn a bunch of rebels (Using Player Factions Mod) and try to sneak around them. Reminds me of "All Ghillied up" from COD4, really fun when I use the Ghillie Suit Combine model. And when you fire? (Fires, and rebels start running towards your position). Loved shooting then trying to hold out in the building that I was sniping from. Seriously. Do a Night remake. And node it well.

Mapping / Four questions about Hammer editing.
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:32:56 PM »
I've got a couple questions about Hammer that I can't answer. I also cannot find them online. I'll list them below:
Question 1: Prop_door_Rotating. I have an interior test, but I can't find out how to make the doors fit the wall! I see maps with doors that fit perfectly, but mine always have space on the other side of the wall.
Question 2: How do you make a 3D skybox? Pretty straightforward.
Question 3: Do any of you know anyone on Steam that can help me with map-making or a map-making team that accepts newbies? My best map so far was a city map which had one interior, with an unfitting Door (Q1) and a 2D skybox.
Question 4: How do you turn the VMF map files into BSP so they can be played? I changed the file extension like with Lua coding, but it didn't work.
Thanks for helping me all. :D

Support & Help / Authorization Help, please?
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:25:15 PM »
I'm not sure about something. I'm thinking of applying for CCA on my good character and I have 6/5 Loyalist points. But there's something that's unclear to me. For the 2 weeks of being on the forum, does it have to be total time logged in or from the time registered on Catalyst Gaming to 2 weeks after that?

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Mass-rebel failure over a 4-day span.
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:19:55 PM »
I was in District 6 trying to form a rebellion which inevitably I lost my evil, rebel character 3 days later in a fight that was MEANT to be a 3 rebel VS one CP. Well, first things first. After I formed the rebellion, we were exiting the district. Upon entering the first tunnel, an entire blockade, about 15 cops just guarding it, some had Overwatch Standard-Issue Pulse Rifles, and I sware I saw a combine or two. So we had to turn back. The next day, my character got together with Hayden Striker's boys and Jamie's rebel forces, but most of them were killed upon the assualt of the Nexus. My character was nearly killed by two bullets from a pistol but a fellow rebel had gotten him back to D6 where he recovered in the underground bar. Two days later, me and Jamie, survivors of the Nexus attack, and a newbie named Conrad, attempted to tackle a CP officer. Sadly for us, a 3 VS 1 became a 3 VS every single Combine or Civil Protection within two miles. Many citizens joined in as they watched the revolution. Conrad and my rebel character Jim were killed, plus all the citizens that assisted us. Jamie's fate is unknown. And so... Rebel Fail of The Week

So, seriously. Don't start a rebellion unless you've got atleast 15 citizens. Don't try it with 2-10. You'll easily get killed. Or maybe you could try escaping to the Outlands although unlikely with all the Combine around.

Bug Reports / Sitting against the wall in City45.
« on: March 14, 2012, 12:54:49 PM »
If you go to the wall on the sides of UCH, not up the stairs, if you go in the wall space between two pillars and use the Sit Wall emote, it seems to work fine until you get up and you'll be stuck in the wall. You need to use the Fall Over emote to fix this.

Outside City 45 / Re: Outlands: What's it like?
« on: March 14, 2012, 10:53:41 AM »
Thanks all. Got a better description of the Outlands, but what's the terrain like? Still in my mind: Barren, thermonuclear and ravaged by war.
Glad I know what the Outlands IS and who's out there.  I know OTA is like patrols of Combine in the Outlands.

Outside City 45 / Outlands: What's it like?
« on: March 11, 2012, 07:46:46 PM »
Alright. I have to admit that I haven't bought Half-Life 2 yet and was too lazy to look up the Outlands on the wiki. Can anyone please give me a full description? All I know is that it's the area outside of cites. In my mind, it's a nuclear wasteland full of Xen aliens and rebels.
Thanks for reading.
